Kanye’s beef with MTV

Kanye West knows why he ended up a rusty No. 7 on MTV’s “Hottest MC” list released this week.

It because he’s dating Kim Kardashian, the rapper told New York’s Hot 97 radio station. “Yeah, No. 7 bothers me,” West told an interviewer.

“It’s definitely not about a body of work,” he said.

West never mentioned Kardashian by name, but made it clear he believes it’s his association with her (and with high fashion) that has turned MTV against him. “They don’t like Kanye in a kilt,” West complained.

“They don’t like Kanye in a relationship.”
